If you have an on board air system but no air lockers, or near future plans for air lockers, is the air gauge at the sPOD really needed? What is the real need for an air gauge anyways, if you are just using the OBA system to air up misc. things while camping and/or tires?

I want to get an sPOD and my future plans would involve an OBA system for general use. Just trying to decide if I need to get the standard sPOD or the one with the space for the air gauge.

The air gauge will give you the pressure in the tank. The electronic gauge hooks up to your OBD2 and will give you a bunch of other info. Personally, I don't see the point of the electronic one, and don't have an air tank to warrant the air pressure gauge. If you don't have plans on running a tank, don't bother.
